Lagos tax to GDP is also too low for a city it's size

nairalanda1:
Okay, let's pay Better taxes to fund modern drainage systems for Lagos. And most of Nigeria then

At the end of the day, we can do the hard things....taxes,[/quote]

nairalanda1:
why not support a government that would improve tax to gdp ratio.

nairalanda1:
but the issue is, Nigeria is so broke now that we don't even have the money to pay for any good thing.

And yet tinubu had $150m to buy a new jet. Oh I forgot, corruption is not the problem. The money spent on a new plane wont make any difference in helping Nigerians

nairalanda1:
And don't start talking about looted money. It takes eons to recover looted money, plus it might not even be enough self. We need 17 trillion naira annually to fix power, or we forget about it.

MadPolitician:
He was rude
Sitting in his car and telling a vip to come to his car to collect his goods is not how you run such errands.

Lets say some home truths here

If you can not stand a vip and you cant tolerate their shenanigans, dont get yourself into a business that will involve the vips. Simple

what makes the legislator a VIP?

how does telling him to come and collect his goods outside amount to being rude?

SoftSport:
While violence must be unequivocally condemned, we must also avoid hasty judgments.

The bolt driver stated that he was struck three times and had his clothes torn to shreds simply for requesting that the lawmaker, Ikwechegh, step outside to collect his package.

We must also await a response from the lawmaker to achieve a more balanced understanding of the situation.

The lawmaker deserves respect as a prominent figure in this nation, and we must exercise caution in addressing these matters.

which hasty judgement are you referring to?

what makes the lawmaker "a prominent figure in this nation"?

does being a "a prominent leader in this nation" give him the right assault the driver?

what response are you expecting from the rascal legislator that will justify his actions?

what balancing are you expecting that should be balanced?

NSNO:
I sincerely believe that Nigeria needs all these reforms.
Infact there is one other thing I want the president to do; tax every economically active citizen. As far as you earn money, you should pay tax and that tax should be based on the amount you earn not some random amount that nobody can justify.

what reforms are you referring to?

what should the tax be used for?

can you provide evidence of what previous taxes under this government have been used for?

MadPolitician:
When the taxes ultimately increase, and the pain becomes unbearable for Nigerians, the same world bank will tell you that the decision to raise taxes, was a local one made by Nigeria and not from the world bank. Yet they are busy now arm twisting a desperate and clueless government in Abuja

same way they claimed buhari had reversed all the economic gains of PDPs 16years partly due to their influence.

unfortunately we have leaders who are hungry for loans to steal

CodeTemplarr:
Doing everything humanly possible to access the external loan yet the Lazy NLC will want to blame IMF for our woes. if you are poor and lack funds, why go to saudi arabia every year to stone spirits? The NLC know their members who do nothing but get salaries are likely the next to get the chop after subsidy so they are fighting for their monthly stipends.

did you actually read the articles?

did you read the conditions for accessing the loan and the implication of meeting those conditions?

emperor4love:
oga e get som kind money,no b ppl get million dollar fr aza

are you one of those people that have million dollar?

Don't you have money?

Kukutente23:
Don't you know that when a plane is ageing, it does not see road well to see foreign object and avoid em

The VP is a critical national asset. Nigeria may be poor but were too big for our VP to be going about in a rickety jet

We can't have 129m poor citizens and still have a poor VP

Nairalanda1 what do you think 🤔

we need to pay more taxes

WeddingParol:
A typical igbo man behaviour.

What amuse me is how they kept eating poison and expect someone else to die.

Their eyes are full of logs they fetched by themselves but always look around for whom to blame for their woes.

Igbo Amaka.

how did you arrive at the conclusion that it is "A typical igbo man behaviour"?

has this type of behaviour not been exhibited by nigerians of other tribes?

is it only Igbos that boastfully say "Do you know who I am"?

"I can make you disappear in the whole of Nigeria and nothing will happen. Do you know who I am?".

"I am a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and I can lock you up in my Generator House and nothing will happen," Ikwechegh said in the viral video

"Do you know who I am"?

the usual boast of most nigerians

this story does not make sense.

Mbongeni Moyo and Sisasenkosi Mpofu
The court heard that a few days after the groom returned to her husband, Moyo then teamed up with his brother-in-law Fungai Mpofu and his friends, Prosper Ndlovu and Allen Munhuru and went to Gwatiringa’s home in Emakhandeni suburb.

when did a groom become a "her"?

this is the initial story. the bride slept out in a man's house on the night of her wedding and the groom found out by checking her phone.

It is said Moyo snatched her cell phone, went through the messages and allegedly stumbled upon love messages she had exchanged with her secret lover, identified as Geshom Gwatiringa, a police officer stationed at Hillside Police Station. Now between a rock and a hard place, Mpofu revealed that she had spent the night with Gwatiringa.

then another entirely different story emerges.

“They went to Geshom’s place and arrived at around 1 am. They found him sleeping with his wife. They knocked at the door and he came outside. One of the accused persons grabbed Geshom by his neck accusing him of cheating with a married woman,” said prosecutor Christina Manyika in court.

when did the bride now go back to Geshom's house after she returned to her husband?

Sultty:
anyone with personal grudge against him. Even you and i are not left behind. That's when they will tell the engineers to lose something from the plane for it to crash to rid him off and boom! mission accomplished

you have not answered my questions.

1. who are his enemies? can you pls mention them?

2. did obasanjo not have enemies when he flew commercial?

3. where is tinubu travelling to that he needs a new plane?

Sultty:
on the other hand it will be a bad idea but as you know he has lots of enemies and they could double cross him in one.

who are his enemies?

did obasanjo not have enemies when he flew commercial?

where is tinubu travelling to that he needs a new plane?

fitinwell:
Be sincere... If it's you .. with so much resources at your disposal, would you travel in a commercial airline..?

Stop this hate already...

I don't support T-pain ... But stop this biased statement already..

can you show me the hate in the comment he made?

how is his statement biased?

what are the "so much resources" at the disposal of tinubu?

if there is "so much resources" at his disposal, how come he says nigerians should endure hardship because there is no money to provide for nigerians?

there are still up to 10 planes in the presidential fleet.

are those resources not "so much"?

what is the usefulness of tinubus travelling to nigerians?

yyba:
so American, Russian, Chinese or south African presidents fly in commercial airline?

in what way is tinubu at the level of the guys you mentioned?

there are about 8-10 planes in the presidential fleet.

what is the essence of buying a new one?

did tinubu obtain legislative approval to purchase a new plane?

LtChisom:
Large numbers of Jews were expelled from the land of Israel at various points in history. Although at no point were all Jews expelled.

When people talk about the Jews being forced out of the land, they’re usually talking about the Roman victory over the Jewish rebellion in 66–70 CE. That was the point where the Second Temple was destroyed and Jewish self-rule in the land officially ended.

Really, though, relatively few Jews were expelled at that point. Josephus claims nearly 100,000, but most historians agree the real numbers are probably lower.

Many more Jews were killed than were expelled.

The Bar Kochva revolt (around 135 CE) ended in another Roman victory, and a significant number of Jews were expelled from the land then. Some historians say this was the real beginning of the Jewish exile.

Again, more were killed than expelled.

There was another forced migration in around 630 CE, when Jewish rebels lost to the Byzantine empire. This is the mass expulsion that comes closest to being 1,500 years ago.

Some Jews were forcibly removed from the land by Crusaders, and held as captives.

The Ottoman empire expelled many Jews during World War I, although only a minority were forced to leave the land entirely (others had to leave their cities).

Long story short - there wasn’t really a single mass eviction, so much as a series of massacres that decimated the Jewish population in the land of Israel, while the Jewish population in some other parts of the world flourished. Over time that led to a situation where the Jewish population in the diaspora was far larger than the Jewish population in Israel.

LtChisom:
The capital of Israel is Telaviv, before trump shifted it to Jerusalem

LtChisom:
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - The United States opens its new embassy in Jerusalem on May 14, a move that has delighted Israel and infuriated Palestinians.
On Monday, road signs directing traffic there went up around the neighborhood where it will be situated, and next week's opening ceremony is timed to coincide with Israel's 70th anniversary.
The initiative was driven by President Donald Trump, after he broke last year with decades of U.S. policy by recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

Trump said his administration has a peace proposal in the works, and recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of America's closest ally had "taken Jerusalem, the toughest part of the negotiation, off the table."
Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, celebrated Trump's decision, but the move upset the Arab world and Western allies.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas called it a "slap in the face" and said Washington could no longer be regarded as an honest broker in any peace talks with Israel.


Initially, a small interim embassy will operate from the building in southern Jerusalem that now houses U.S. consular operations, while a secure site is found to move the rest of the embassy operations from Tel Aviv.

WHY DID TRUMP RECOGNIZE JERUSALEM AS ISRAEL'S CAPITAL, AND ANNOUNCE THE EMBASSY WILL BE MOVED THERE?

There has long been pressure from pro-Israel politicians in Washington to move the embassy to Jerusalem, and Trump made it a signature promise of his 2016 election campaign.


The decision was popular with many conservative and evangelical Christians who voted for Trump and Vice President Mike Pence, many of whom support political recognition of Israel's claim to the city.
Trump acted under a 1995 law that requires the United States to move its embassy to Jerusalem, but to which other presidents since then - Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama - consistently signed waivers.

WHY DOES JERUSALEM PLAY SUCH AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN THE MIDDLE EAST CONFLICT?

Religion, politics and history.
Jerusalem has been fought over for millennia by its inhabitants, and by regional powers and invaders.
It is sacred to Judaism, Christianity and Islam, and each religion has sites of great significance there.
Israel's government regards Jerusalem as the eternal and indivisible capital of the country, although that is not recognized internationally. Palestinians feel equally strongly, saying that East Jerusalem must be the capital of a future Palestinian state.

The city even has different names. Jews call it Jerusalem, or Yerushalayim, and Arabs call it Al-Quds, which means "The Holy".
But the city’s significance goes further.

At the heart of the Old City is the hill known to Jews across the world as Har ha-Bayit, or Temple Mount, and to Muslims internationally as al-Haram al-Sharif, or The Noble Sanctuary. It was home to the Jewish temples of antiquity but all that remains of them above ground is a restraining wall for the foundations built by Herod the Great. Known as the Western Wall, this is a sacred place of prayer for Jews.

Within yards of the wall, and overlooking it, are two Muslim holy places, the Dome of the Rock and Al-Aqsa Mosque, which was built in the 8th century. Muslims regard the site as the third holiest in Islam, after Mecca and Medina.

The city is also an important pilgrimage site for Christians, who revere it as the place where they believe that Jesus Christ preached, died and was resurrected.


WHAT IS THE CITY'S MODERN HISTORY AND STATUS?

In 1947, the United Nations General Assembly decided that the then British-ruled Palestine should be partitioned into an Arab state and a Jewish state. But it recognized that Jerusalem had special status and proposed international rule for the city, along with nearby Bethlehem, as a 'corpus separatum' to be administered by the United Nations.

That never happened. When British rule ended in 1948, Jordanian forces occupied the Old City and Arab East Jerusalem. Israel captured East Jerusalem from Jordan in the 1967 Middle East war and annexed it.

In 1980 the Israeli parliament passed a law declaring the "complete and united" city of Jerusalem to be the capital of Israel. But the United Nations regards East Jerusalem as occupied, and the city's status as disputed until resolved by negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians.

DOES ANY OTHER COUNTRY HAVE AN EMBASSY IN JERUSALEM?

In March Guatemala's president, Jimmy Morales, said that his country will move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem on May 16, two days after the U.S. move.
Netanyahu said in April that "at least half a dozen" countries were now "seriously discussing" following the U.S. lead, but he did not identify them.

In December, 128 countries voted in a non-binding U.N. General Assembly resolution calling on the United States to drop its recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. Nine voted against, 35 abstained and 21 did not cast a vote.


WHAT IS LIKELY TO HAPPEN NEXT? HAS JERUSALEM BEEN A FLASHPOINT BEFORE?

Since Trump's announcement there have been Palestinian protests and wider political tensions.
Arab leaders across the Middle East have warned the move could lead to turmoil and hamper U.S. efforts to restart long-stalled Israeli-Palestinian peace talks.

More than 40 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli troops in Gaza during a six-week border protest due to culminate on May 15, the day after the U.S. Embassy move and when Palestinians traditionally lament homes and land lost with Israel's creation.
Although the clashes have not been on the scale of the Palestinian intifadas of 1987-1993 and 2000-2005, violence has erupted before over matters of sovereignty and religion.

In 1969 an Australian Messianic Christian tried to burn down Al-Aqsa Mosque. He failed but caused damage, and prompted fury across the Arab world.

In 2000, the Israeli politician Ariel Sharon, then opposition leader, led a group of Israeli lawmakers onto the Temple Mount/al-Haram al-Sharif complex. A Palestinian protest escalated into the second intifada.

Deadly confrontations also took place in July after Israel installed metal detectors at the complex's entrance after Arab-Israeli gunmen killed two Israeli policemen there.

did you read all the grammar you copied and pasted?

do you even understand what it means?

how does it justify your claim that Donald Trump shifted the capital of Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem?

LtChisom:
The capital of Israel is Telaviv, before trump shifted it to Jerusalem

is shifting a capital from one city to another the same as moving an embassy from one city to another?

LtChisom:

how is shifting the capital of Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem the same thing as relocating the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem?

I ask again when did Donald Trump shift the capital of Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem?

who gave Donald Trump the powers to perform that activity?

Has Fubara commissioned riff raff to threaten FG? No one can saber rattle FG. Tinubu has said the two parties could go to court. Fubara has state funds to his disposal. If he is legally right with his actions and inaction he does not need to threaten FG.

It's now that I know that Tinubu advisers are not educated enough to understand national loyalty and upholding the institutions more than any individual. This is so so sad. They want to finish Tinubu govt and he can't see between the lines that some many things will come back to hurt him.

Immunity doesn't even cover the governor or President. It only said the holder of the officer can't be arrested or charged to court. The family members are not part of this time bomb too.

The office holder can be impeached for wrong doing because immunity can't work then.

The building is not immune. Anyone can be arrested even in the presidential house or lodge.

This statement is what a principal with good understanding of governance and loyal to the principles of being loyal to the national flag would sack such a staff or asked to resign immediately. This how a strong and sane is governed and seen.

If you are just knowing "now that Tinubu advisers are not educated enough to understand national loyalty and upholding the institutions more than any individual", what kind of person did you think tinubu is all this while?

Why are tinubus advisers the problem and not him?

GiZcorp:
Is it the house that enjoys immunity or the man.. Burst in there and drag him out joorh.
